FEATURES

GENERAL - SATA AND SAS

• Four bi-directional 2:1 SATA or SAS multiplexer/demultiplexer.

• Compliant with SAS Internal and External specification.

• SATA Gen1i, Gen1x, Gen2i, Gen2x compliant.

• In the downstream direction, the QuadSMX 3G demuxes the initiator-side receive ports to either the A or B device-side transmit ports.

• In the upstream direction, the QuadSMX 3G selects either the A or B device-side receive port to output on the initiator-side transmit ports.

• Passes-thru out-of-band (OOB) signaling.

• Internal OOB detectors for COMSAS, COMRESET/COMINIT and COMWAKE.

• Provides port reordering to support standard SATA/SAS 4 channel connectors and easier PCB routing.

GENERAL - ETHERNET AND FIBRE CHANNEL

• Four channel bi-directional Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet (XAUI) link extender and 2:1 serial multiplexer/demultiplexer.

• Four channel bi-directional 1G,2G and 10G Fibre Channel link extender and 2:1 serial multiplexer/demultiplexer

• Provides transmit redundancy for Ethernet and Fibre Channel Switch Applications. In this case,data is broadcast to both Port A and Port B.

HIGH-SPEED I/O

• 1.0 Gbit/s to 3.2 Gbit/s operation.

• Automatic amplitude control for SATA and SAS applications.

• Programmable receive equalization, transmit preemphasis and transmit output swing.

• Integrated resistive termination and receive AC coupling.

• Analog interfaces support SATA and SAS hot plug.

APPLICATIONS

• Host Bus Adapter.

• RAID controller.

• Ethernet (1GE and 10 GE XAUI) and Fibre Channel (1,2 and 10 GFC) link extender.

• Ethernet (1GE and 10 GE XAUI) and Fibre Channel (1,2 and 10 GFC) mux/demux.

• PCI Express, PCI Advanced Switching, ATCA, serial RapidIO, Infiniband, and HDTV link extender and mux/demux.
